Since the age of 15, my entrepreneurial journey has been marked by the successful establishment of numerous technology-based businesses over the course of my lifetime. Furthermore, my career boasts a rich tapestry of achievements, including holding prestigious positions as a fixed-wing FAA Certified flight instructor and an airline captain. These roles have afforded me extensive expertise in diverse FAA Part 135 and 121 air carrier operations, while my earlier service as an aircraft mechanic in the United States Air Force laid the foundation for my aerospace career.
Throughout my professional journey, I have meticulously cultivated essential leadership, interpersonal, and communication skills, which have proven invaluable in my roles. My guiding philosophy is firmly anchored in a technology-centric mindset, combined with an unwavering commitment to ensuring customer satisfaction. This blend of attributes has forged an open-minded and creatively entrepreneurial outlook that drives my endeavors.
Moreover, my exceptional aptitude for problem-solving has consistently set me apart in the aerospace and technology industries. In addition to my practical accomplishments, I have established myself as an accomplished author with a portfolio that includes various flight training textbooks essential for pilot certification.
Above all, my greatest source of fulfillment arises from the opportunity to assist individuals in navigating intricate challenges, leveraging my wealth of experience to guide them towards success.
My name is Nick Schvabenitz and I have over two decades of experience in the technology industry and nearly two decades in aviation, I have witnessed firsthand the value of hard work, stemming from my family's background in steel-working. Throughout my journey, I have gained a profound understanding of the importance of time and opportunity cost. I take immense pride in being a self-made individual, possessing extensive domain knowledge across numerous fields, too vast to enumerate here. Embracing new challenges is something I thoroughly enjoy.
My aviation career commenced in the United States Air Force, where I served as a C-130 mechanic. Since then, I have held various positions including FAA-Certified Flight and Ground Instructor, Charter Pilot, Airline First Officer, and Airline Captain. I have authored and published a range of flight training materials for FAA Initial Flight Instructor Certification. Additionally, I have resided in multiple countries and many diverse regions within the United States.
Michelle and I have dedicated years to collaborating closely with entrepreneurs and small business owners. Consistently, we have heard from these individuals about their expertise in their respective fields, yet their struggle to establish an online presence. Trustworthiness emerged as a significant concern, along with the exorbitant costs associated with hiring web design agencies.
In late 2022, we resolved to address this predicament by establishing Affordic, a SaaS-based Website as a Service (WaaS) web development company. At Affordic, we offer robust websites through a subscription-based, all-inclusive approach, without any hidden charges. Our clients pay a single flat monthly subscription fee, encompassing comprehensive design services, development, hosting, maintenance, and support. It provides a predictable expense, akin to their phone bill, fostering stability for their businesses.
We founded Affordic with the objective of assisting small businesses in establishing an affordable online presence while providing expert support throughout the entire process. Whenever an opportunity arises, I strive to educate small business owners about the pivotal role websites play as a foundational element for the future success and longevity of their enterprises. Assisting small business owners in achieving their goals brings me immense satisfaction.
